Victoria Beckham exudes ferocity and strength in the May 2012 issue of Harper’s Bazaar China. Photographed by Chen Man, the British singer-turned-designer wows in fiery red hair and an opulent Asian headdress. The severe look is accentuated with bushy brows and smoky eye makeup.

Beckham’s cover look is so different from her signature style that bloggers and fashionistas have been describing it as anime-esque and akin to a video game character. The additional photos depict a more restrained Beckham sporting color-blocked fashion, a sky-high top knot and accessories that seem to have been inspired by nature.
